About this Design

"Beware of the Dog!" "Cave Canem from the House of the Tragic Poet", was a mosaic placed on the left of the doorway as one entered the home. The words Cave Canem (beware of the dog) was a message for the arriving visitor. Mosaics were a common feature in the private homes and public buildings of ancient Rome. Peggy has designed this pillow based on the original mosaics that she saw while walking through ancient Rome and Pompeii. A fabulous project to stitch! Be sure to check out our blog post, for more information and ideas on unique stitches that really make this pillow come alive. (thread is optional, does not include finishing materials)
